- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.6 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 51 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.11 per match at 13.7, economy 3.00, strike rate 27.4.
